Military AviationA forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.

Had a chance to take some photos of the Officers' Mess recently. Almost every window broken, anything remotely valuable gone. It's sad to see such a beautiful and historically important building go to ruins.....

Sickening! Typical of how our history is treated throughout the board though i'm afraid! Similar pics posted some time ago! Saddest thing you could want to see after such a proud history! Bit more of a punch seeing the 'Frightnings' here over CPT regular too! Especially as I used to photograph them at Binbrook as a youngster and was at the final show! Rain or what! Happy days but OH SO COLD Brrrrrrrrrr! Sad as it is, your pics are beautiful in an atmospheric sense! Snaps
